Where to Ask for Jail and Record Help

For local DeKalb County Jail questions, start with the Sheriff's Office and jail contacts below.

Different agencies control different records, so match the question to the source before calling or filing a request.

• For someone held now or recently at DeKalb County Jail, use jail inmate records and call the jail line at Ext. 2 if the roster is unclear.
• For booking photos published with a DeKalb jail record, see jail roster mugshots or ask the sheriff records division about an older APRA request.
• For charges filed in DeKalb Circuit Court, Superior Court I, or Superior Court II after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Indiana MyCase, and the DeKalb County Clerk of Courts at 100 S. Main St., PO Box 230, Auburn, IN 46706; main phone (260) 925-0912; criminal division (260) 925-4575.
• For a facility-specific question, use the DeKalb County Jail page or the Community Corrections / Residential Work Release page listed in the footer.
• For a sentenced Indiana prisoner, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator rather than the county jail roster.
• For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
• For custody notifications, release alerts, and victim notification, use Indiana SAVIN or VINELink, which DeKalb County identifies as its victim-notification channel.
• For pending criminal prosecution questions, contact the DeKalb County Prosecutor's Office for the 75th Judicial Circuit at the courthouse, 100 S. Main Street, Auburn, IN 46706; IPAC lists prosecutor Neal R. Blythe at 260.925.1646. For official court copies or unavailable MyCase documents, contact the clerk for the court that maintains the case.
